The facility looked in generally good condition. There were renovations taking place when I visited. The marketing director was very helpful in answering my questions.

Critical

Unhealthy Dining and Lack of Care

The food was horrible. They early ever fixed any fresh food. It was all processed frozen foods. Their idea of fruit was canned fruit cocktail. They used too much salt which is horrible for elderly people. Everything was full Of sodium and nothing was fresh. My mom was ignored. She would go an entire day with no aid to come and help her with her daily needs. We paid for almost the highest level of care and she would have days where no one can in To help her.

Kind, loving staff

My mom needed a safe setting when she was not able to function at home. We were so fortunate to find her a spot at Brookdale. The staff is professional and kind. Mom is happy and content. They take good care of her which takes and emotional and physical burden from her children.
